The problem
null The product poses a risk of injuries because if the steering wheel is repeatedly and strongly turned to the full-lock position, there is a possibility that the nuts securing the pinion shaft in the steering gearbox assembly may come loose. If the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the pinion shaft could become unstable and power generated by the electric motor may not be fully transmitted. This could result in a significantly increased steering effort being needed when making a left turn and could lead to a road accident.
